  4. Gonorrhea • Symptoms • Asymptomatic • Genital burning, itching, discharge • Can lead to PID and sterility • Cause • Bacterial – treat with antibiotics • Dangers to mom and baby • Miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, premature delivery • Skin infection, respiratory infection, infections of the genitals, eyes, arthritis, meningitis, blood infection, blindness, death

  5. GONORRHEA BACTERIA

  6. GONORRHEA Lesions on tongue from Gonorrhea Gonorrhea infection in newborn’s eye. Gonorrhea can cause blindness in newborns, so an ointment is now put into the eyes of all newborns born in U.S. hospitals as a precaution.

  7. GONORRHEA Gonorrhea chancre on skin (above) and ankle (left)

  8. CHLAMYDIA& GONORRHEA Chlamydia and Gonorrhea have similar symptoms

  9. PELVIC INFLAMITORY DISEASE(PID)

  10. Syphilis • Symptoms • 1 stage – chancre (open sore) • 2nd stage – fevers, rash, hair loss • 3rd stage – attack of the central nervous system leading to death • Cause • Bacteria – treat with antibiotics if caught in time • Dangers to Baby • Stillbirth, neonatal death, congenital syphilis, skin sores, fever, swollen liver, jaundice, anemia, deformities, death

  11. SPIROCHETE(The organism that causes Syphilis)

  12. PRIMARY SYPHILIS(first stage chancre appears) Syphilis chancre on tongue and roof of mouth Syphilis chancre on lip • Syphilis chancres will appear at the point of inoculation or exposure.

  13. PRIMARY SYPHILIS(first stage chancre appears) Syphilis chancre on penis (left) and vaginal area (right) Chancres sometimes look as though several layers of skin are missing

  14. SECONDARY SYPHILIS(second stage a rash appears)

  15. SECONDARY SYPHILIS(second stage a rash appears) Secondary Syphilis lesions on palms Secondary Syphilis lesions on the feet

  16. SECONDARY SYPHILIS(second stage a rash appears) Secondary Syphilis lesions will appear on the the hands, feet and over the entire body. Remember that the Tertiary or Third stage is when the disease is dormant and there will be no symptoms. It can last up to 20 years in this dormant stage.
